Usage Guidelines

After MAC address bypass authentication is configured, the device performs 802.1X authentication first and starts the timer configured using the dot1x timer mac-bypass-delay delay-time-value command. If 802.1X authentication is not successful before the timer expires, the device performs MAC address authentication on users. You can run the dot1x retry max-retry-value command to set the number of times an authentication request is retransmitted to an 802.1X user. The retransmission interval is the integer part of the value calculated using the following formula: delay-time-value/(max-retry-value + 1)

Example

# Configure the device to perform MAC address authentication if 802.1X authentication is not successful within 60 seconds.
